"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us."

What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that.

What contempt for voters. ~AA

Labour chair Anna Turley MP on Nigel Farage failing to declare his March visit to the US:

“Rather than representing his constituents in the UK Parliament to which the people of Clacton elected him, he’s been jetting off abroad to call for sanctions against our country, putting British jobs at risk"

On Elon Musk’s address to the Tommy Robinson march today, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said:

“Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

“Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.”

Fox host Brian Kilmeade suggests "involuntary lethal injection" for people with mental health issues that are refusing treatment.

I'm sure some people claiming to not see where this is all headed are really, really stupid. But most are just waiting for the right moment to show their new boots.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Let’s get this right.

First he says he bought the place.

Then he said he didn’t.

Now Farage is unsure enough to hire expensive tax advisors…
Farage has 'expensive week' seeking tax advice in row over Clacton home
The Reform UK leader previously said he had bought a house in his constituency - only for it to emerge that it was in fact purchased by his partner.

I'm sure the people putting up flags and painting roundabouts all over the place will be happy to pay more council tax to cover the cost of their eventual removal and repairs.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

The labour government are installing solar panels on schools and hospitals and public buildings to save those buildings hundreds of thousands of pounds a year which they can spend on the services they provide.
Nigel Farage wants to take that away from you and have YOU pay.While you shout at boats 🤦‍♂️

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
